Itinerary: | |||||||
Come on out and join me for an after work work out hike. We will meet up and start at the Kennesaw National Battle Field Park visitors center. When we are gathered, we will be taking a fairly quick paced 5 mile clock wise trek on this trail, meaning we will be going up the back areas of Pigeon Hill to Little Kennesaw then up to Big Kennesaw where we will make our way back down to the visitors center. Because of the direction we are taking This is a moderate to semi strenuous hike, and not one for first time hikers. The park closes at 8pm, being on time and ready to go is very important, we will only wait 10 extra minutes before we step off. I am also adding to my hike descriptions a heads up about poison ivy, the plant is out in mass this year. The trail at KM is well maintained but there are always a few of the "not-so-friendly" weeds that reaches out over the trail. There are products on the market that can help guard against exposure, plus as an extra precaution you might add rubbing alcohol to your list of things to bring, so you can wipe off your legs arms, poles etc..after the hike. | |||||||
